Acupressure Forehead Technique

The origins of acupressure are as ancient as the instinctive impulse to hold one’s forehead or temples when he suffers from headache. We all have at onetime or another used our hands spontaneously to hold tense or painful places on the body. Acupressure Forehead technique provides an effective method for rejuvenation of the upper face. For headaches, sinus congestion, and tension locate the “gb20” points at the base of the skull in the back of the head, just behind the bones in back of the ears. Disperse these points for two minutes with the fingers or thumbs. Also find the “yintang” point, which is in the middle of the forehead between the eyebrows.

Forehead Technique Forehead Technique
Disperse it with gentle pressure for two minutes to clear the mind and to relieve headaches. The full face technique lifts the entire face as every finger glides from under the jaw line, over the chin, around the mouth, then contouring the cheekbones and ending at the center of the forehead. The chinese discovered that by pressing certain acupressure points on the face, there was a greater flow of blood and oxygen to the facial area, which promoted a release of tension, a softening of lines, and toning and tightening of sagging skin, among other health–related benefits.

Before getting rid of headache we tap the eyebrow point, we tap anywhere along the entire eyebrow and even well above the eyebrow up on the forehead. However, the eyebrow acupoint is located at the beginning of the eyebrow nearest the center of the face. If we incorrectly tap in the middle of the eyebrow with two or three fingers, we are still likely to tap an acupoint or meridian and might even see good results.

Face reading is not a derivative of acupressure, but it helps in diagnosing a problem. Face reading in acupressure, again, is not spiritual or magical. It is backed up by scientific evidence and the who recognizes it. The human face can show many signs that indicate that the person has some health problem. Each of these indicates a specific health problem. Lines on the forehead indicate that the person is highly depressed. Bring your fingertips to your forehead and rub vigorously up and down as if your fingertips were a rake, from the hairline to the eyebrows. Begin at the centre of your forehead and work towards your temples.

Acupressure Head Exercise Acupressure Head Exercise
This exercise stimulates the digestive system and gall bladder. Pressing on the points can also free an emotional block by releasing the accumulated tension you hold in your body, says dayton. Even spiritual blocks, such as difficulty meditating, can be relieved with acupressure. Lightly holding a point at the center of your forehead just above the bridge of your nose for one minute with your eyes closed is a wonderful way to help you enter a meditative state. Here are a couple of quick, simple ways to release stress from the luxury of your own desk by using energy meridian or acupressure points.

Acupressure massage around the eye socket and forehead can relieve tension in eyes that have been strained by staring at computer screens or too many late nights, and reduce headaches. Tap your forehead. Tap just above the middle of your eyebrows on both the right and left sides. This acupressure point is used to promote health of the head, eyes, and face.

The first is called the forehead release. Lightly and gently place your fingertips and palm of your hand on your forehead. Take deep, slow breaths. Focus on whatever’s stressing you. Keep your hand on your forehead for 3–5 minutes.

Indian culture has a very old, very common forehead acupressure technique. A bindi placed on the forehead corresponds to an important acupressure point for increasing energy levels. This position is also spiritually symbolic of the sixth chakra or energy centre often referred to as the ‘third eye’ which is believed to represent insight and intuition. It was thought that daily application would awaken one to one’s connection to the divine and inner vision.
